Polarizing windows, filters, etc. are often used to reduce the amount of light that enters the lens of a camera or into a room o

r a car. A library atrium has an overhead skylight that lets in too much light during the day which heats up the interior of the library far too much. The building engineer installs new double paned polarizing sky lights to reduce the intensity. If sunlight, which is unpolarized, has an average intensity of 1250 W/m^2.
Required:
What angle should the polarizing axis of the second pane of the window make with the polarizing axis of the first pane of the window in order to reduce the intensity of the sunlight to 33% of the original value?

Answer:

The answer is "35.6^{\circ}"

Explanation:

The sunlight level of the first panel:

I_1 = \frac{I_o}{2}

When the light of this intensity passes through the second window:

I_2 = I_1 \cos^2 \theta\\\\I_2 = \frac{I_o}{2} \cos^2 \theta

 \frac{I_2}{I_o} = 0.33 (33\%) \\\\

therefore,  

0.33 = \frac{1}{2} \cos^2 \theta\\\\\cos^2 \theta = 0.66\\\\\cos \theta = \sqrt{0.66} = 0.8124\\\\\theta = \cos^{-1}( 0.8124) = 35.6^{\circ}\\\\

Explain why the shortening velocity became slower as the load became heavier in this experiment. how well did the results compar
valkas [14]
<span>The shortening velocity refers to the speed of the contraction from the muscle shortening while lifting a load. Maximal shortening velocity is only attained with a minimal load. With a light load, the shortening velocity is at its Maximal shortening velocity. When the weight is heavy, the speed in which the muscle lifts the weight decreases in speed at a slower velocity.</span>

Since astronauts in orbit are apparently weightless, a clever method of measuring their masses is needed to monitor their mass g
djyliett [7]

Answer:

a) m = 69.0 kg

b) release some gas in the opposite direction to the astronaut's movement

Explanation:

a) Let's use Newton's second law

         F = m a

         m = F / a

         m = 60.0 / 0.870

         m = 69.0 kg

b) when we exert a force on the astronaut it acquires a momentum po, as the astronaut system plus spacecraft is isolated, the momentum is conserved

         p₀ = p_f

         m v = M v '

         v ’= \frac{m}{M} \ v

so we see that the ship is moving backwards, but since the mass of the ship is much greater than the mass of the astronaut, the speed of the ship is very small.

One method to avoid this effect is to release some gas in the opposite direction to the astronaut's movement so that the initial momentum of the astronaut plus the gas is zero and therefore no movement is created in the spacecraft.
